Turkey to send captured Daesh prisoners to home countries

TURKEY has threatened to send Daesh (Islamic State) fighters back to their home countries, and this could see Jihadi Jack returning to Britain.

Interior minister Suleyman Soylu on Saturday (2) warned the nation "is not a hotel" for captured terrorists.


"We are not going to keep them until the end of time. We’re not a hotel for Islamic State."

Soylu also slammed countries such as Britain on Saturday for stripping homegrown jihadis of their citizenship.

He said: "Countries can’t just deprive Daesh members of their citizenship, this is unacceptable to us and it’s also irresponsible."

In June this year, Jihadi Jack's British citizenship was stripped off by then home secretary Sajid Javid.

Jihadi Jack's parents have branded Javid a "coward" for secretly stripping their Muslim convert son of his British citizenship. Jack has dual citizenship through his father, who is Canadian.

Jack's father John told Channel 4: "Justice doesn't seem to be able to happen here. I thought British citizens had certain rights. I thought we had the right to innocent until proven guilty, the right of a trial, the right of free speech.

"It's not us who are in denial and naive. I think it's maybe Sajid that's a bit of a coward and in denial and naive, and obviously it's his last act (as home secretary) and he can move on and not have to even justify it.

"I would love to have a debate with Sajid Javid about this and see what are the reasons they've done this, we can't even find out, it's all secret."

Jack travelled to Syria in 2014 to aid Daesh, but was captured trying to escape out of Raqqa in 2017. For the past two-and-a-half years, he has been lodged in a Kurdish prison.

After being captured, Jack pleaded to be allowed to return to his Oxfordshire home saying he had “no intention of blowing up Britons.” But his requests have been denied.
